Apologies for not using the Q in LGBTQ. It was an innocent oversight and nothing more.

WARNING: TRIGGERS

1917 - President Woodrow Wilson is picketed by woman's suffragists in front of the White House, who demand that he support an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee women the right to vote.

1941 - Mass slaughter in Ukraine. More than 23,000 Hungarian Jews are murdered by the Gestapo in occupied Ukraine. The German invasion of the Soviet Union had advanced to the point of mass air raids on Moscow and the occupation of parts of Ukraine. More than 600,000 Jews had been murdered in Ukraine by war’s end.

1955 - Emmet Till was murdered while visiting family in Money, Mississippi. The 14-year-old African American from Chicago, is brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier. In 2017, Tim Tyson, author of the book The Blood of Emmett Till, revealed that Carolyn Bryant recanted her testimony, admitting that Till had never touched, threatened or harassed her. “Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him,” she said.

1963 - Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the African American civil rights movement reaches its high-water mark when Martin Luther King, Jr., speaks to about 250,000 people attending the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The demonstrators–Black and white, poor and rich–came together in the nation’s capital to demand voting rights and equal opportunity for African Americans and to appeal for an end to racial segregation and discrimination.

1968 - Protests at Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Thousands of Vietnam War protesters battle police in the streets, while the Democratic Party falls apart over an internal disagreement concerning its stance on Vietnam. Over the course of 24 hours, the predominant American line of thought on the Cold War with the Soviet Union was shattered.
